STRATFORD - Two people are facing charges after police found drugs and a cache of weapons in a Bridgeport home, hidden in the room of a young child.

A drug investigation in Stratford led police to a home on Louisiana Avenue on Thursday where they arrested 26-year-old Joel Nelson and 27-year-old Tamara Robles. The Stratford Vice Unit served a search warrant where they found the alleged weapons cache, as well as a large amount of drugs. Police say they found close to 3,000 packets of heroin.

Police say the resulting seizure was one of their largest this year. Authorities say they found $59,000 worth of heroin,as well as assorted pills, marijuana and cocaine. They also found three shotguns, two handguns and an assault rifle with a bayonet attachment.
